The role handles the close, payables, receivables and management reporting, keeps the books accurate and on time, and works directly with the Chief Corporate Officer. The Accounting Manager will also help Psygen's finance processes and tools evolve: getting more from the Odoo ERP, introducing automation and AI-assisted tools where they add value, and freeing time for analysis and decision support for the executive team.
